Chapter 627: Hong Xi Returns to Cong Yun

Chapter 622 – Hong Xi Returns to Cong Yun

“Has it finally returned?……” Li Fan’s eyes narrowed slightly.

“Is he the only one? Where’s Immortal Monarch Zi Yun?”

In a flash, Li Fan had already previewed the game in his mind after the two met.

Including but not limited to: facing the current situation where he was being hollowed out and seized power, Immortal Monarch Hong Xi rose up and fought back, relying on the appeal of his Transfiguration Cultivation, and in a matter of moments, he would have regained the support of the vast majority of the cultivators.

Or, Hong Xi Immortal Monarch surface immobility, false and subtle, temporary appeasement. When Li Fan relaxes, he will move like thunder, launching a sign, instantly completing the reversal of the situation. In the end, Li Fan was removed from his post on trumped up charges.

And so on and so forth.

But Li Fan is how did not expect, when Hong Xi Immortal Monarch really see him, not only not what the sword, but instead is a laugh, up to give Li Fan a big hug.

Li Fan’s body slightly stiffened, a trace of incomprehension flashed in his eyes.

“Am I familiar with you?” He thought so in his heart.

Immortal Monarch Hong Xi, on the other hand, did not notice the strange look in Li Fan’s eyes at all as if he was very pleased as he patted his shoulder.

“Good! You’ve done a good job! After hearing that Ten Thousand Immortal Island was almost uprooted by the Five Elders’ Association, originally, Zi Yun and I were worried that the Cong Yun Sea would be turned into a mess from now on. I didn’t expect that with you coming out of nowhere. Over the past few years, not only has the ranking of the various assessment indicators not dropped, but instead, it’s risen by several places!”

“You said why didn’t you awaken earlier? Otherwise, wouldn’t I have been messed up by all sorts of things over the years?”

“Keep doing it! Next, Cong Yunhai’s political affairs are still in your hands!”

Immortal Emperor Hongxi looked very happy.

Li Fan could not help but be silent.

Hong Xi, who was dressed in white, on the other hand, seemed to be at ease as if he was at ease, humming an unknown tune on his lips as he returned to the long table in the room.

Elegantly, he poured himself a cup of tea and drank it beautifully.

“Lying still every day, I can see the merits soaring, this is what life is all about.” He said lazily.

Turning back to see Li Fan always standing still, he immediately greeted, “Hey, don’t be so formal. Come and have a cup of tea too!”

“Then thank you, Lord City Lord!” Li Fan did not refuse and went forward to sit down as well.

Hong Xi drank another cup of tea before he added, “Zi Yun and I, at the Immortal Alliance Headquarters, have heard about your deeds. Tsk, it’s worthy of being a disciple of an ancient sect, it’s just a little bit stronger than these cultivators of ours who are capable now.”

“Say, what realm has your cultivation recovered to now? YuanYing, Transformation God?” Immortal Monarch Hong Xi glanced at Li Fan, then shook his head again.

“Can’t see through, can’t see through!”

Li Fan, on the other hand, said calmly, “No matter what cultivation level, nowadays, they are all just subordinates of the City Lord.”

Immortal Monarch Hong Xi laughed, “Then I am nothing more than a subordinate of the First Scribe, and he, the First Scribe, is nothing more than a subordinate of the Law Transmitter Elders.”

“Both serve the Immortal Alliance, so what’s the difference?”

Li Fan immediately looked solemn: “Your lordship’s state of mind is truly extraordinary. My subordinate admires it!”

Looking at Li Fan still being so one-dimensional, Immortal Monarch Hong Xi’s face immediately fell. Shaking his head, he sighed, “Truly old fashioned! It’s meaningless, really meaningless.”

“That’s fine, as long as you next, as usual, help me with my governmental affairs and business as usual.”

Li Fan looked at Immortal Monarch Hong Xi’s attitude, which didn’t seem like an act, and couldn’t help but ask, “Are you so reluctant to return to power, my lord?”

Immortal Monarch Hong Xi laughed once again, “That’s what you don’t understand. But it doesn’t matter, you will understand later. There’s no harm in telling it to you first.”

“I have been in charge of the Cong Yunhai for nearly two hundred years and have been working diligently. Not having made any merits, yet not having made any mistakes either.”

“Such days are coming to an end. Want to go further?”

Immortal Monarch Hong Xi sighed slightly, “It’s difficult!”

“There are so many Immortal Alliance Harmonized God cultivators. Without entering the Harmonized Dao, wanting to go compete with those people ……” “Hehe, it’s not as good as being free in my Cong Yunhai.”

“This pile of political affairs, you can be prudent for a year, two years, even ten or thirty years.”

“But what if a hundred years, two hundred years?”

“I would have been bored with it long ago. But I can’t afford to resign from my post. If I leave it to my men, they are all drunkards, and I don’t trust them.”

“How many years has it been, and finally a character like you has emerged!”

“No, Zi Yun, she stayed inland to go to some [Friendship Exchange] for a long time. I didn’t even bother to attend that event that’s rare for hundreds of years, so I couldn’t wait to run back to see you.”

“Sure enough, you didn’t disappoint me!”

Immortal Monarch Hong Xi exclaimed.

“I’ve heard that you were perhaps a little worried before, that I would seize your power upon my return? There’s no need for that! I can’t wait to hand over all this mess to you!”

“Don’t worry, I will gather the people tomorrow and make this clear. You will still be in charge from now on!”

Li Fan’s face couldn’t help but twitch.

But still, he arched his hand, “In that case, thank you Lord City Lord for your love.”

Immortal Monarch Hong Xi patted Li Fan’s shoulder once again, “Do well! Although you, the Secret Character Envoy, obtains less merit every year than I do, it’s no longer in the same class as those cultivators who painstakingly go on merit quests every year.”

“Moreover, I heard that during the time you were acting as the Island Lord and supervising the construction of Congyun City, your position was also according to the same grid as the City Lord.”

“Calculating like that, your merit rank should have risen very quickly over the years.”

It was Li Fan’s turn to freeze.

“There are merit honors issued every year, right? How come I didn’t receive it?”

Immortal Monarch Hong Xi, who was drinking tea, sprayed the tea out of his mouth in one gulp and looked at Li Fan with shock.

“Impossible, right? You didn’t receive the merit badge? Then what did you work so hard for all these years for?”

“I …… “Li Fan wanted to say something.

Suddenly, he realized that there was a deep generation gap between the two, so he could only remain silent.

“You wouldn’t have not been going to the Heavenly Xuan Mirror to participate in the annual settlement, would you.” After a long time, Immortal Monarch Hong Xi looked at Li Fan with a very bizarre gaze.

Li Fan shrugged, “No one has mentioned this matter to me.”

Immortal Monarch Hong Xi slapped his head.

“Eh ……”

He said breathlessly, “Then hurry up and take a look. There might be some surprises.”

Li Fan nodded, saluted, and hurriedly left.

Looking at Li Fan’s gradually disappearing back, Immortal Monarch Hong Xi shook his head, “Ai, worthy of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance. It’s not a matter of concern ……”

When Li Fan returned to the Heavenly Xuan Mirror, after some inquiries, he realized what the so-called annual settlement was all about.

It turned out that the main ruling personnel of each state region, in addition to the annual contribution “salary”.

In addition to the annual contribution “salary”, there was also a “performance” payout based on each state’s overall ranking in the Immortal Alliance.

Once a year, in addition to the contribution, there is also a large amount of merit.
